    Try putting moth balls from the hardware store at the base of the plant. It works wonderfully in the Midwest.

    Moth balls don't work in Canada and neither does Cayenne pepper.

    Hello Tim, I recommend spreading shredded Irish Spring bar soap around your plants. You can shred them on a box grater or even a food processor. Good luck.

    I agree- try sprinkling soap shavings around- just remember to replenish after rainfall
